Do you think the waterless hand sanitizers (Purell, etc.) can kill the virus?

Not a dumb question at all. The answer appears to be yes (look in the viral test section):

Anyone have a list of these alcohol-based products sold to consumers? I've actually been meaning to get hold of some for myself.

The makers of Purell don't appear to be public. This has to be a high-growth product (even before SARS), although the barriers to entry are pretty low, so maybe it wouldn't be that good an investment anyhow.
